Legal Information
Below is a comprehensive legal analysis based on Indian law for your question.
If you have a documented right of way over the passage in Kolkata, you can file a suit for injunction and damages before the civil court in West Bengal restraining your neighbor from obstructing the passage. Under the Indian Easements Act and West Bengal Premises Tenancy Act 1997, an easement right can be claimed if you have been using the passage for more than 20 years without interruption. You must produce the title deeds, property maps, and evidence of continuous use of the passage. You can also seek an interim injunction pending the final disposal of the suit. If the lower court does not grant relief, you can appeal to the Calcutta High Court under West Bengal Premises Tenancy Act 1997.
